Krystal Resorts Cancun remains vigilant in the fight against travel scams and the criminals that facilitate these fraudulent practices.

Krystal Resorts Cancun stands for honesty and respect throughout the travel industry and has zero tolerance for individuals who threaten the integrity of the industry by running scams and other criminal activity. While it is difficult to find scam artists before the scams even take place, by equipping its members and other travelers with the necessary information, Krystal Resorts Cancun is doing its part to keep travelers aware of the latest travel scams. In the battle against scammers, the easiest way to gain the upper hand is to simply be alert and aware of the multiple ways that scammers are looking to take advantage of innocent travelers.

Krystal Resorts Cancun knows that travelers enjoy having a carefree mentality when enjoying their vacation experiences. However, travelers should never be too carefree, or they risk becoming the targets of a travel scam. Many con artists and scammers are adept at identifying a traveler who may not be paying enough attention to their surroundings. Typically speaking, bars and beaches are prime locations for these conmen, as they know their targets have more than likely had a couple drinks and may not be in the right state of mind to realize that they are being ripped off.

Krystal Resorts Cancun cautions travelers to always be aware of what is going on around them. If a night of drinking is planned, leave valuables behind at the resort. Or, perhaps the best plan is to leave anything of great value back home and avoid taking it on vacation to begin with. Scam artists are very good at snatching things from bags and pockets, so even the most sober of travelers can become a victim if they neglect to remain aware.

Scam artists not only target people physically, but digitally as well. Krystal Resorts Cancun points out those cyber criminals are just as dangerous as pickpockets when it comes to personal security. It is all too easy for criminals to setup fake Wi-Fi hotspots in an attempt to trick a traveler into connecting to it. Once the traveler connects their Smartphone or laptop to the compromised router, the hacker can easily gain access to the traveler’s personal information that they wish.

Krystal Resorts Cancun continues to maintain the best member service ratings in the industry, and hopes that all travelers will have a safe and enjoyable 2014 vacation experience this spring.
